Eddie Reese, the only college swimming coach to win NCAA team titles in four separate decades, has established a tradition of excellence in Austin and set the standard in collegiate swimming through his 42\u00a0years at Texas. A\u00a0three-time United States Men’s Olympic Team head coach, Reese is the winningest\u00a0coach in the sport’s history with 14\u00a0NCAA team titles, a figure that also positions Texas as the winningest\u00a0NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving program.<\/p>\n

After placing 21st at the NCAA Championships in his first season (1979) at Texas, Reese’s teams have never finished lower than seventh at the national meet. His Texas team finished the shortened 2019-20\u00a0season with two incredible streaks to its credit: 40\u00a0consecutive top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championship and 41\u00a0consecutive conference titles. The 2020 NCAA Championship was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Along the way, Reese has developed 53\u00a0NCAA individual champions, 50\u00a0national champion relays, 263\u00a0All-Americans and 29 Olympians who have won 39 gold medals, 16 silver medals and eight bronze medals.<\/p>\n
